We haven't had a cooler than normal month since March...of 2023.

SEA has had 5 colder than normal months in that span and that doesn't count June which was exactly normal.    So just a negative tenth of a degree away from 6.   Which would be what would be expected normally... 6 and 6.

Sunshine and dark clouds... classic April.

Gotta be much drier than normal. Im at .47 for the mtd. 

Yes... dry but not warm.

And if the ECMWF is right it might not even end up that dry.

12Z ECMWF looks very troughy and wet.  April is running a little colder than normal at SEA through yesterday and likely will end up colder than normal.

Lots of good news in this screen shot... sun coming back out and Mariner kicking butt in Denver where it's 33 degrees and its the second coldest game in franchise history.

Looks like the rain is arriving just in time to ruin some late afternoon outdoor plans!

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.  

Right before the crash....

Totally dry frontal passage 

It's OK... your trees will be dormant for another 2 months.  In early March you said 10-12 weeks away from any signs of life.    Another 8 weeks or so to go.

I dunno about having no idea absent the modern forecast models. Barometric pressure has been falling all day. Usually a pretty good hint something is coming.

I wouldn't be checking that... just feels like a day that would be nice until the end if you had no internet access.

70’s and full sun! If I didn’t know via this forum and weather predictions that it was coming shortly, I would have no idea that it was coming shortly! 

I just said the same thing to my wife.  Would have no idea today was about to crash if not for the models.  72 and sunny and barely a breeze now.   Feels like summer.   And then will feel like winter in a few hours.

Trouble is brewing!    68 degrees and breezy.

It's been totally sunny since... garden planted  now so some rain would be nice!

One tiny cloud is about to morph into a cloudy sky and rain.

Planting garden today.

Trouble is brewing!    68 degrees and breezy.

12Z ECMWF is also drier than normal over next 10 days and drier than it's 00Z run.

Pretty obvious who decoupled last night and who didn’t!

Pretty sure the east wind was going all night here.

Easy to see on the satellite why the sun will be back out before sunset... distinct clearing line behind the front offshore.

Temperature really spiking this morning. Already up to 61˚F after a morning low of 38.

65 in North Bend after a mild low of 54.   

Midnight low incoming.

12Z GEM is also much less troughy later in the run than its 00Z run.

12Z GFS holding off any return to rain (after the front today) until Thursday now and then goes back to a fairly quiet pattern after a couple days.   Not seeing any real signs of a major pattern change.   Generally a variable pattern with plenty of nice days mixed in and not real wet overall.

6"

Over 60" for the season now, essentially average. 

And cause the postponement of the Mariners-Rockies game.    

When it's snowing in Denver in the spring it's usually really nice here.

Crazy day... a gusty east wind becoming a gusty SW wind by 5 p.m.    And sunny for a good part of the day with a front early this evening but then the sun is back out by sunset.

Tim predicted a “very wet” weekend, but aside from some light showers this weekend looks mostly dry. 

I actually said one GFS run from days ago looked very wet down there because it showed rain all day on both Saturday and Sunday.  It was an accurate statement on that specific run then and still is accurate when referring to that specific run.  It was not a prediction.   That specific run did not verify. 

Nino not crashing really hard yet.    I am sure its coming though.

I'm more or less focused on the temperature crash. Even if it doesn't rain the evaporative cooling from rain in the vicinity will cool things off quickly and substantially.

Yeah... temps are going to crash hard.
